Greek shipping manages over 20% of the global fleet, while Greece's economy accounts for just 0.2% of the global GDP. Today, the industry faces a historic opportunity: to lead the global effort for sustainable development.
Geopolitical developments, international maritime trade, the shipping industry, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and bank lending are the topics being addressed at the 8th Shipping Conference of Naftemporiki, titled “Critical Decisions.”
Shipping is at the heart of the greek economy. It is enough to mention that the contribution of Greek shipping to GDP is 8%. The development of an ecosystem around shipping is the key challenge.
